How I did it
How to get 43T friends to email inspirational, uplifting, "just what i needed to hear" things to be read on the 1st day of the new chapter of my life, after I send the email
It took me
7 days
It made me
touched

How I did it: I just posted my goal. I know a number of people had been following my progress with D as they either commented or were sending me private messages. I just needed help, i needed the comfort of 'strangers' of people who might have gone through or were going through my emotions. Slowly the emails started coming in, I didnt read them, just printed them and stuck them in an envelope to take on the plane with me and read this morning.

How to tell him how I feel
It took me
7 months
It made me
nervous but relieved

How I did it: After 7 months of keeping quiet, and becasue he gave me no other choice as he wouldnt meet me or take my call (although I never tried calling) I spent a while writing an "email":http://www.43things.com/entries/view/4271920 Read how I did it…

How to write the email..
It took me
1 month
It made me
not quite sure yet

How I did it: I talked and talked and talked and talked about what I wanted to say to him so it was just a case of getting an email written (I make it sound so simple!) which got across how I was feeling without freaking him out or ruining and future chances.Then I waited until it flowed, I gave it to my shrink and my mum to read.... I wrote it on here, checked it over by reading it a few dozen times for a few days, made some more changes and then just… Read how I did it…
